superflower 550w psu cables too short

Wodgy · 25 Aug 2014 at 12:39

Hi. As the title suggests I believe the sata cables/splitters are too short to connect my 3 devices(ssd,mechanic and optical) in my corsair 200r regardless of how they are arranged.
Any suggestions?
This is my first real build so would appreciate the feedback.
Rehards.

you'll need an extension cable, ie something like this: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CB-004-SV

Annoying, i have the same issue with my superflower 650w; the cables are so short. I just got away with it in my fractal R2 but any shorter and i'd have needed an extension for the 4 pin 12v lead. Superflower are stingy with the cables :/

What is the length on the cables with the superflower?

hmm...i was just about to buy same PSU tonight and aim to put in fractal r4 case.....that would be annoying if it definitely wouldn't have leads long enough. Does anyone know it it would be likely to?!

There you go. Not sure about the 550w but on the 650-850w psus all the cables are 50mm shorter than the 1kw and up. Annoyingly, they're also 50mm shorter than the cables on the 550w be quiet that my superflower replaced.
